I heart LK Bennett dresses
Understand elegance and sophistication. Beautifully tailored with small details that make a big difference, such as: material has some heft to it, and it is fully lined, so it feels substantial; on the bodice and around the neck there are interesting seams that give the dress subtle detail. I find this brand to capture both the old fashioned and the new at once. It may be too conservative for some, but you can’t go wrong and could wear it for many occasions.

Trendy tartan
This is a great dress for work. In colder climates it might not be warm enough for really cold weather. The length of the sleeves is great, and the plaid is more vibrant in person than it looks in the photo. It’s very form fitting, but even being very full figured I felt comfortable in it.

It’s like the top of half the dress and the bottom half are not coordinated.
Gorgeous color, and substantial linen,but the top was huge and unwearable, even with a cami underneath. Very disappointed.

Power dress.
I love LK Bennett dresses because they are fitted and fully lined. They are professional and simply sophisticated, and I wore this one to an important meeting and felt great, even though it was form fitting with my full figure.

I wanted to wear it every day!
Just loved the vibrant colors. The dress just felt like a celebration of summer, and I wore it multiple times for both work and play. Sad to send it back.

Feminine, fancy and fun!
This dress is dressy enough for a wedding or cocktail party, but since I didn’t go to either of those I wore it more casually. It’s beautifully made, fully lined and tons of material in the skirt so that it sways and swirls around you.

Just fabulous!
Other than the straps being a bit too long and not adjustable, this dress is perfect. It is flattering on a full figured person like myself. The fabric is a nice weight and does not wrinkle. The dress is fully lined. The color is really eye-catching. It’s quite dressy and could be worn to an afternoon wedding, but it’s so pretty and fun to wear you may want to find any opportunity to wear it.

Pretty in pink.
I loved this dress, which I wore for work and play. It’s very sheer so needs a slip. The layers move beautifully when you walk, and it’s feminine and pretty.

Pretty dress for work
The dress is prettier in person. It’s nicely made and fully lined. Pretty shade of red with nice detailed. It looks great with a belt, too. It’s in the low side, but I wore it for work and felt really nice in it, and I got a lot of compliments.

It’s a lot of dress!
I usually wear a large or extra large and this was crazy big. At first I wasn’t going to wear it, but I decided to wear it to work. It’s very long. The fabric and colors are really pretty. The dress is fully lined and felt quite substantial. It has a very interesting design and details, and while it’s not the most flattering thing to wear, I did enjoy how different it looked from anything else I’ve worn before. Just size down!

I know it’s a maxi dress, but it was too long to wear!
I just could not wear this dress. It was much too long and I’m 5’6” and even with heels it was too long. It’s sort of pretty in person, but could look like a nightgown.

Beautiful dress but too small
This was very disappointing because i had worn another Stine Goya dress in the same size and it fit perfectly. Yet this dress I couldn’t even get on. The dress is prettier in person than it looks in photos, and the fabric is beautiful. I was really bummed this didn’t work out.

Dress heaven!!
This dress has a huge wow factor. It is beautiful and can be dressed up or worn with sandals. It’s dressy, but I wore it to work. It is so comfortable and even has deep pockets! There is a lining at the top part of the dress, so it feels substantial. I wore a half slip because I felt it might be too sheer in certain lights. The dress flows and moves beautifully, and I felt like a million bucks in it! I think it would be flattering on most body types because if the way is both form fitting at the top, but flows at the bottom.

VINCE.

Bold. Bright. Beautiful. Dress it up or down.
As soon as I saw this I had to have it! It came new, with tags on it! The bottom of the sleeves don’t fit as snug as I thought they would, so I could push them up and get s bell shaped sleeve. It would look fantastic with white jeans. I’m full figured and got the XL, and it fit across my bust without having to pin between the buttons to avoid gapes. The colors and pattern are bright and the sleeves are quite voluminous, so it’s a statement piece. But if you want to add some vibrancy to your wardrobe, this will do it!

Spring has sprung!!
Beautiful silk with bold pattern is the perfect way to transition into spring. I'm old fashioned-- I think this dress needs a slip to help it hang better, and because it would be more sheer than I like. There are pleats down the back of the dress (above the waist) that are a bit over-proportioned, so I added the belt which made it look better. Still, it has the details and quality that I enjoy in Tory Burch clothes, and it feels special to wear this dress.

I L-O-V-E love love this dress.
Everything about this dress is great! Fun style. Great fit. Great fabric. It really could be worn almost all year round and would look great with sandals and with boots. I would rent it again and I now have little hearts next to all the Stine Goya dresses.

Cozy and stylish
I've really enjoyed wearing this coat. I love the huge pockets and oversized style. The attached scarf is a mixed bag-- a nice detail but doesn't really stay put. Beautiful color and beautifully made.

Beautiful color. Ridiculous shoulders.
This coat is beautifully made, and I so wanted it to work. But I should have heeded all of the other reviews. It's not just oversized, but the style of the arms is crazy. The shoulders are just cut too broad and made me look ridiculous.

This. Dress. Wow!
This dress is so elegant and luxurious. The fabric hangs perfectly, and the styling details are so nice. I usually wear lots of jewelry and this dress needs nothing added to it to make a bold statement. I feel so great wearing it. Just love it and wish i could dress like this everyday.

Lots of compliments!
This is a nice dress for work. Even being full figured I felt good in it. The material is substantial so it didn't feel skimpy. It mostly fits true to size but is big around the shoulders and long in the arms. I think the belt is essential, otherwise it just looks kind of shapeless and frumpy.

Someone asked me if I was an art director!
This coat is warm enough for Chicago winter, and lifts my mood on dreary days. I've never gotten so many comments on an item of clothing! People have stopped me on the bus, one guy took a photo of the coat. You will have fun wearing it. For super cold days you need a scarf because it doesn't close all the way to the top of the coat. Only complaint is the skimpy pockets. Other than that, I love this coat!
